A super blue moon will be visible Wednesday night for the first time since 2018. Here’s how you can see it in the sky.
Supermoons occur when the moon is full and located at or near its closest point to Earth, according to NASA. These moons appear especially large and bright because they are slightly closer to Earth than normal full moons.
A blue moon is the term used to describe the second full moon in a month. The moon's cycle is 29 and a half days, so every two-to-three years there is a blue moon where there's a full moon at the very beginning and end of a single month.The 2023 super blue moon will occur on the night of Aug. 30-31, beginning on Wednesday night and lasting until the early hours of Thursday morning.You can see the super blue moon from wherever you are located, as long as the sky is clear of clouds.
If you miss the super blue moon on Wednesday, you'll have to wait a while for the next one -- January 2037, to be exact, with another following in March 2037.
